Remember that that the national polls are about the popular vote, not the electoral college.

 

The top national polls were fairly accurate in 2016.

The Electoral College needs to be abolished.  All elections should be popular vote only.

This is for home use, only a couple a week, I'm not a raging alcoholic 

Take it to the gym.

I have never met the man but that does not stop me from going to social media to say he is great.

 

The man is flawed but his message and values and policies are great for USA and the World.

 

He is essentially 'anti-woke' and 'anti-globalist' and 'anti-progressive liberal' and 'anti-radical minority groups' who are tearing down western values and morals.

Plus he is going to 'drain the swamp' when he is elected POTUS - he was distracted and fooled last time - but this time he will hit the ground running and take them down.

Trying to get the alligators to voluntarily leave the swamp was foolish - the only solution is to drain the swamp and then permanently remove them. 

He is going to make Javier Milei (Argentina) look like a librarian - Trump is going to tear it all down so that they can never again re-buiild it.

 

Sure - if you are a woke liberal and you support Palestine, Illegal Immigrants and other radical minorities, and you are a globalist (socialist) who loves the UN and EU, and leaders like Macron, Trudea, Starmer, Scholz, and Albanese etc etc, and unelected socialists like Von Der Leyen, António Guterres and Schwab etc etc. -  then you will hate what Trump is going to do.  But I think that the majority are going to see through the media lies and how much a disaster another 4 (or even 8 ) years of Bidenomics would be. 

 

And best of all - he can dodge a bullet - even Reagan could not do that 😁

 

I love Donald Duck and Daffy and Goofy, too!

Picture of the dogs.

 

Social media has been abuzz with outrage as authorities and animal lovers search for an unknown individual who cruelly bound the mouths of 10 dogs with adhesive tape in Soi 12, Pattaya-Naklua Road, Bang Lamung District, Chonburi. Some of the dogs were also seen with plastic bottles hanging around their necks. Local residents speculate that the muzzling was due to the dogs’ loud barking and aggressive behavior toward tourists.

 

The images posted online sparked criticism, with many condemning the act as animal cruelty. Upon investigation, it was confirmed that the dogs had indeed been walking and lying along the streets with their mouths taped shut. The security guards in the area stated that although these dogs are usually looked after by someone, they remain muzzled day and night, with the tape only removed when someone comes to feed them.

 

 

 

The incident has raised concerns among the local community, prompting calls for officials to investigate whether this act violates the *Prevention of Cruelty and Animal Welfare Act 2014

 

This law protects animals from abuse and neglect, and violators can face up to two years in prison, a fine of up to 40,000 baht, or both. The public is urging authorities to take swift action and locate the individual responsible for this cruel act.

I read about a Scottish woman who cropped 517 sheep in nine hours and I was amazed. At the same time, I saw that street urchins in Paris were winning medals for climbing a small wall in under six seconds. There is something wrong here. I blame the Americans.

You and GG need to spend more time together.  Perhaps you could begin a reading club.  I suggest that you start with comic books since they use few few words and have pictures.

Only serious if it is serious in the eye of the beholder, naturally.

 

Personally, I think it's fairly serious, but, still, not TOO serious for TV.

 

What is YOUR opinion?

 

 

I haven't owned a TV in the 34 years I've lived in Thailand.

Weirdo

In my 34 years of living here I have never had to show a wardrobe or and kind of closet with both my wife's and my clothes in it.  In fact, we have never shared a closet space of any kind simply because there is no room for both her clothes and mine.  Another fact is that there are many married couples who have separate bedrooms for a variety of reasons.

Once more I nearly forgot about doing my 90 day report in a timely basis.    Turns  out I  casually and accidentally discovered my reporting was the following day.

 

Once at the agents office I asked them about leaving the passport with them and they said that'd be fine.    I wouldn't say I left it with purpose and intention but I just didn't go and pick it up the next day when it was ready.

 

What are the pros and cons of leaving the passport with them?

 

I always carry the  reduced credit card  sized  copy in my passport along with my MC and car license.

 

 

 

 

 

The agent does not need your passport to do a 90-day report.

I see so many foreigners who've been in Thailand for a minute and who have a job, a work permit, a yellow book, a pink card, are married to a Thai, etc, and they suddenly think they are no longer viewed as a "tourist" by the locals in the land of smiles.
 

In my opinion, none of that changes anything, nor does the amount of time you've lived in the country for that matter. You can never change the fact that you are a foreigner on the outside and that you will always be viewed and treated as such by the locals.
 

If you think that it's truly anything different then I think you are sadly mistaken. Personally I prefer it that way and wouldn't want it to be anything otherwise.
 

Do you see it any differently? What are your thoughts on the matter?

I agree.  I have been here for more than thirty years, have a Thai family, speak Thai, have a yellow house book and a pink ID card, yet I know that I will always be considered a foreigner.

Bangkok is famous for horrible traffic and sidewalks so crowded with vendors that walking on them is almost impossible.

So far, after the governments announcement of reducing Tax on alcohol, I have yet to see the prices go down in the shops & restaurants.

 

If anything they seem to be going up!

 

I read that the government was introducing a 0% tax on all alcohol in an effort to spur tourism and get the punters drinking.

 

Seems that something, somewhere, got lost in translation yet again..

or was it all just a load of cobblers to begin with?

 

TIT.

When I was shopping at my favorite Thai grocery store two days ago I noticed that one of the Australian boxed wines that I used to buy regularly was back in stock.  I used to pay 1,095 baht for a 5L box.  It has not been available for two months after the old stock was allowed to sell out.  I picked up a box expecting the price to have gone down under the new tax system, but when I looked at the shelf tag I saw that the opposite had happened.  The new price had increased by 300 baht and was now 1,395 baht!  Needless to say, I did not purchase any. 

I vote for etc.
